Course description and aims
Students learn the structural mechanisms of fundamental building frames such as the cantilevered beam and the truss structures through lectures and exercises. Exercises are conducted after each lecture.
This course is intended to be the cornerstone of all structural subjects, and firm understanding of the basic theory is very important.
The instructor provides lectures writing on the blackboard, and additionally some documents are distributed as a learning aid.
Student learning outcomes
I Learning the analytical method for member stress and deformation of a cantilevered beam, which is one of the statically determinate structures.
II The general topics mostly consist of force equilibrium, cantilevered beams, and statically determinate structures.
Keywords
Building Structures, Structural Mechanics
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
Lectures run for about 70 minutes on each topic. Consequently, in order to enhance the depth of understanding of students, exercises are provided for about 20 minutes.
